Anybody disappointed they didn’t hear more of the “classic,” Mark Olson-era Jayhawks tunes in Gary Louris's first of two shows at the Dakota probably didn’t catch all of the Jayhawks reunion gigs over the past few years. As is recounted in the full review for Tuesday's paper, the Jayhawks co-leader eschewed many of those songs for basically anything and everything he didn’t get to sing on those tours, and it was a welcome respite (or return?).

The list included many of his best tunes of all time, such as “Vagabonds,” “Jennifer Save Me,” the Dixie Chicks collaboration “Everybody Knows” and such post-Olson Jayhawks nuggets as “It’s Up to You” and “All the Right Reasons.” He dug especially deep into the record-geek bin for the early-‘00s outtake “In the Canyon,” as well as the unreleased “Vagabonds”-era beauty “Girl in the Window.” There was only one brand new song, “The Greatest Longshot” -- which charmingly sounded like Louris as John Prine – but he said he would be finishing off a new solo album later this year. Monday’s show, and probably Tuesday’s too, should go a long way in jumpstarting that process.
